Good friend of mine doubled his salary going to Meta. We have the same background and I can’t get entertained after multiple calls and loop interviews with them. I say enjoy the ride until the ride breaks. Meta is a hard group to get a foot in the door.

The other reasons I can think of is that the employers are all doing something shady with OP set as the scapegoat fall guy and “mastermind” behind it all on paper. Or something happened where he can potentially sue them for much much more in a lawsuit, but he’s completely oblivious to what it could be.

congratulations- though initially you may come across as gloating, perhaps you could consider philanthropy. Amazing the benefits knowing the direct impact your contribution would make vs a general charity where a lot of contributions are swallowed through their own cost base.

As a freelance project manager, my income is always fluctuating based on the type of gig I have and the lifespan of the role. An extra weekly financial award via gifting/sponsorship would be much appreciated and create more balance — I could certainly allocate the new purpose of your spillover via Zelle. 😚☺️

But seriously my fellow fishbowler, count yourself tremendously fortunate that you have funds coming your way that you don’t know what to do with. Have you already purchased a home? Your dream car? Have life insurance and a decent savings outside of Meta’s offered retirement package? Considered any fun an interesting hobbies you could commit that will bring you joy, but may require a budget to maintain? Travel much for your birthday or during a holiday season? There so much you can do … and … if you feel compelled, well, you see the QR.

Blessings friend! You’ll figure it out. 🫶💪💪

I think you’re asking the wrong question. The question should be how Can you steward that money to do something you enjoy and impact others? Maybe that can be through philanthropy, starting your own business, mentoring other engineers or teaching what you do, build affordable homes soo people have places to live in. And also know, no business will pay you more than you’re worth, meta isn’t a non profit. They’re not paying you out of the goodness of their heart. You deserve that salary and if the job is easy for you, then that’s ok but do something with what you have because otherwise you won’t need to ask for a lower pay, it will be taken from you all on its own.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.

Are there any executives out there who have recently negotiated with their CEO for an updated compensation package? I know I'm being underpaid as a CFO who has also handled all of the HR responsibilities for the past 3 years. Currently at $130K with $30K bonus at the end of the year. I don't take the insurance through the company either. Currently no 401K match program available.

I’m about to accept a position at an information services company for a marketing coordinator position. They are offering 62k out of a 55k-65k range that I was quoted, and that aligns with my research. It’s much more than what I’m making now, but I thought it would be smart to run this by you all before signing the dotted line. This would be my first time as a marketing coordinator—I’m bringing in 5+ years from an adjacent industry to the table, if that gives perspective. WDYT? Thank you!
